The Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry is an independent public inquiry into Scotland's response to, and the impact of, the COVID-19 pandemic, and to learn lessons for the future.

The Inquiry will investigate aspects of the devolved strategic response to the pandemic, and it will cover health, education and support.^[1] It covers the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022.^[2]

Inquiry

The Scottish Inquiry is separate to the broader UK Covid-19 Inquiry. Its initial chair, Lady Poole, quit for personal reasons and was replaced by Lord Brailsford. Four members of the Inquiry's legal team stepped down in October 2022, delaying its start.^[2]

In May 2023, the Inquiry launched a website asking Scots to share their personal experience of the pandemic.^[2]

The inquiry opened on 26 July 2023, with its first hearing taking place in Dundee.^[3]
